Copper can be combined with other elements to form alloys. Copper is melted down and additional elements are added in a desired ratio. For example zinc can be added to copper to form brass alloy. If tin is added to copper you make bronze. The trick is to heat the copper to a point where another element can be absorbed into the copper. Depending on the material you are trying to mix with the copper it will be brought in at the atomic level (like salt in water) or will form something like a suspension (muddy water)

If you want me to get more descriptive on how the thermal chemistry works and what happens in the crystalline structure feel free to say so. Tried to keep it simple. Hope this helps

What are the two forms of copper and what are the elements that form them?

The two forms of copper are copper(I) and copper(II). Copper(I) is formed when copper loses one electron, while copper(II) is formed when copper loses two electrons.
